Experiment 1: Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s law, one of the most important laws in electrical circuits, is all about
how Voltage, denoted as (E), Current (I), and resistance (R) are related to one
another. The voltage, the difference in potential between two points, is proportional
directly with the current and resistance, the higher the current or resistance gets, the
higher the voltage becomes. While the current and resistance are inversely
proportional to one another, the higher the current is the, the lower resistance
becomes and vice versa. The relationship between these three are represented by
these formulas:
E=R*I I=E/R R=E/I
It is also told that work done in a current within a certain period of time, or electric
power in a circuit, is directly proportional to the voltage or potential difference.
Represented by these formulas:
P= EI = I^2R = E^2/R
In the experiment, various tools were also correctly connected to the circuit to
measure the current using an ammeter and the electric potential difference using a
voltmeter. These tools must be connected correctly like in the voltmeter, the
positive terminal goes with the red line while the negative terminal goes with the
black line
